Who am I?
Why do I like Cubs?
I'm just your typical, everyday Tractor
fan. Well okay, it goes a little deeper than that. Want to know
more about me? I will tell you a little about myself
here.
Shop Time
When I'm not working on my barn, or garden or attending a CubFest
somewhere around the country, I'll probably be out in the shop with
one of the Cubs. It sure is relaxing working on these whether
alone or with a group of friends.

A Little About The Cub!
In 1947 the Farmall Cub was introduced
to the American farmer. This little critter was meant to help the
small farmer who relied on horse drawn equipment.
These farmers
could not afford, nor did they need, mammoth farm machines to do their
work. The cub fit right in for them since little is what was best
to do their job.
So it was that McCormick-Farmall created
something they never intended - They created today's latest craze - "Cub
Collecting".
Today, many people around the world, from
those with big farms to your neighbor with the 1/3 acre suburban lot, are
restoring these little tractors for use in their garden, mow grass, push snow or
just to drive in their town's Memorial Day Parade.
This site is intended to introduce you not
only to the Cub, but also to the men and women dedicated to shedding the blood,
sweat and tears involved in bringing the Cub back to life.
Have You Seen Me?
 Does
your Cub have a dash like this? If so how about letting us know the year
and at least the first three numbers in the serial number.
There is very little
information on this type dash and we are trying to determine it's origin.
Story here.
Watch Out Dog!
My first tractor and pet - September 1954.
"Bo" was my best friend. He was very protective of the family. Mom
always said my uncle would act like he was going to get me just so he could see
Bo go into action. |
